This document provides an overview of Firebase and its key features. It introduces Firebase as a backend-as-a-service that includes tools like authentication, cloud firestore, cloud functions, machine learning, analytics and more. It then summarizes several Firebase services including cloud firestore, cloud storage, firebase hosting, cloud functions and how they could be used to build features for a social media app. Security rules for controlling access are also briefly covered.

Introduction
With example :)

3. Firebase
Helps app teams succeed
Backend-as-a-Service
Service provided by Google

9. Authentication
Prebuild UI’s
Supports Auth2
Google, Facebook, Github...

10. Firestore
NoSQL Cloud Database
Modelled as collection of
documents
Horizontally scaled

11. Firestore vs Realtime Database
● JSON Tree
● Just basic queries
● Limited by region
● Limited scaling
● Collections of documents (JSON)
● Strong queries (sort and query)
● Regional and multi-regional
● Automatic scaling

12. What is Cloud Firestore?
● Newer solution inspired by Realtime database
● Modeled as collections of documents
● Stronger queries
● Pay for reads/writes
● Horizontally scaled
● Shallow by default

13. Cloud Storage
Object storage service
High scalability
High availability
Any file

14. Firebase Hosting
Free Hosting
Can serve from your CSS and HTML files to
your Express.js microservices or APIs.
Backups

15. Cloud Functions
Run your backend code without
managing servers
Triggers

16. ● Cloud Firestore Triggers
● Realtime Database Triggers
● Remote Config Triggers
● Firebase Authentication Triggers
● Google Analytics for Firebase
Triggers
● Crashlytics Triggers
● Cloud Storage Triggers
● Cloud Pub/Sub Triggers
● HTTP Triggers

17. Machine Learning
Prebuild API’s
AutoML
Custom Tensorflow models

18. Analyze

19. Google analytics
App measurement solution
App usage
App engagement

20. Cloud Firestore
Offline support
● Při získání jakýkoliv dat, vše se automaticky ukládá do
lokální cache

21. Performance
monitoring
Easy tracking of app’s
performance issues

22. Firebase
Crashlytics
Realtime crash reporter

23. Cloud Firestore
Offline support
● Při získání jakýkoliv dat, vše se automaticky ukládá do
lokální cache

60. Security

61. What are Security rules?
● Provide access control and data validation
● Flexible rules syntax allows you to create rules that match anything

62. rules_version = '2';
service cloud.firestore {
match /databases/{database}/documents {
match /burgers/{burgerId}/reviews/{reviewId} {
allow write: if request.resource.data.stars > 0;
allow read: if resource.data.visibility == 'public';
}
}
}

63. rules_version = '2';
function isValidItemSchema() {
return hasFields(
incomingData(),
['bought', 'internalNumber', 'invoiceNumber', 'location', 'name', 'notes',
'serialNumber', 'status', 'type', 'user', 'warrantyUntil', 'createdBy', 'createdAt',
'costCenter'],
['updatedBy', 'updatedAt', 'parent', 'children']
)
&& (isMissingField(incomingData(), 'children') || incomingData().children is map)
&& incomingData().createdBy is string
&& incomingData().createdAt is timestamp;
}

64. Thank you!
